At Selvagem Grande (position 30:08.420N, 15:52.252W) for the day and night.
 
Foshy snoring opposite me after our tiring pasta lunch. Think we'll swim ashore to see the island in a bit, because, as every aspiring botanist knows:...
 
"The terrestrial floristic heritage of the Ilhas Selvagens is compromised by approximately 105 vascular plants of which 11 are endemic to this group of islands"
 
sounds riveting.
 
winds still in NE, but lightening. We plan to set sail for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria tomorrow morning.
 
wireless internet and photos to follow
